36 years, I discovered the bass at a very young age, when I was 15 I realized that I could make money at doing something I love. When I was older playing music meant that I didn't have to work a day job, so music it was!!

During the 1990's I toured the US, Canada and Europe playing bass for David Allan Coe. That entire experience was memorable.

My primary bass is a Ken Smith 6 String Elite, I also have a 1983 Fender Precision (4 string), a 1983 Gibson RD Artist (4 string), a Takamine acoustic bass (4 string) and a 1988 Peavey Dyna Bass (4 string). I also have a couple of acoustic guitars one of them being a 1972 Gibson Hummingbird.
